The objective of this study was to evaluate seasonal fluctuations in groundwater quality, determine the effects different stressors on resource, and recognize potential pollution sources a coastal region southern Vietnam. Eleven samples collected Ben Tre province during dry wet seasons were then analyzed for sixteen parameters, including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, hardness (TH)...

The century-old trickling filters at the Daspoort Wastewater Treatment Works in Pretoria (Gauteng, South Africa) are known for their remarkable removal of nitrogen from municipal wastewater. Our study was conducted to identify the microbiological processes responsible for this phenomenon and to establish whether anammox bacteria may be involved. An aerobic and anaerobic bench top reactor, both ...

Abstract We propose a novel and simple method for obtaining the giant longitudinal spin Hall effect (SHE) of reflected light beam when elliptically polarized (instead linearly light) at telecommunication wavelength is obliquely incident on prism–sodium interface excited by surface plasmon resonance. By introducing spatially averaged Stokes parameter <mml:math xmlns:mml="h...

Abstract Unconventional superconductivity in the Chevrel phase (CP) offers a wide structural aspect to understand superconducting ground state. A detailed investigation of properties Re-based pseudobinary telluride CP Mo 4 Re 2 Te 8 is reported. It crystallizes trigonal structure, with space group ...

Abstract We apply adversarial domain adaptation in unsupervised setting to reduce sample bias a supervised high energy physics events classifier training. make use of neural network containing event and with gradient reversal layer simultaneously enable signal versus background classification on the one hand, while other hand minimizing difference response samples originating from different Mon...

We examined for first time the ripened fruits of Indian yellow raspberry (Rubus ellipticus Smith) (RE), an under exploited fruit from the Nilgiris, India, for its polyphenolic compounds and in vitro antioxidant/radical scavenging ability. The fruit yielded phenolic content (TPh) of 6100 ± 0.082 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100g of fresh material (FM) and total flavonoid content (TFl) of 320...

Plant materials as sources of medical compounds continue to play a dominant role in the maintenance human health since antiquity. The present study was designed ascertain toxicity ethanolic extract Senna tora leaves on Wistar rats. A total twenty (25) rats were distributed into 5 group animals each. Group I, received normal saline, II 100 mg/kg, III 200 IV 400 and V 800 mg/kg leaf fraction resp...

Abstract A mismatch of atomic registries between single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in a two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructure produces moiré superlattice with periodic potential, which can be fine-tuned by introducing twist angle the materials. This approach is promising both for controlling interactions TMDs and engineering their electronic band structures, yet ...

Abstract A series of copper-based p -type chalcogenide semiconductors, Cu 2+ x B Ge 1− Se 4 ( = Zn, Fe; 0 ⩽ 0.15), was prepared by high-temperature methods, to explore the impact replacement closed-shell ion, Zn , with magnetically active, Fe cation. Powder x-ray diffraction in conjunction Rietveld refinement reveals that zinc-containing materials are described kesterite-type structure (space g...

Abstract We study the sparse phase retrieval problem, recovering an s -sparse length- n signal from m magnitude-only measurements. Two-stage non-convex approaches have drawn much attention in recent studies. Despite non-convexity, many two-stage algorithms provably converge to underlying solution linearly when appropriately initialized. However, terms of sample complexity, bottleneck those with...
